Synopsis (short abstract) This document is one of the three publications prepared by the forty-ninth session of the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), held in Rome, in June 1997, and dedicated to the evaluation of food additives and contaminants in food. The report of the meeting will be published in the WHO Technical Report Series, and the toxicological monographs as No. 40 in the WHO Food Additives Series. Specifications of certain food additives in this document provide information on their iden tity and purity. The three main objectives of these specifications are to identify the substance that has been subject to biological testing, to ensure that the substance is of the quality required for safe use in food, and to reflect and encourage good manufacturing practice (GMP). This publication will be useful to all who work with or are interested in, food additives and their safe use in food.
